Have a Little “End of Summer” Fun at Pick’n Patch
The region may be famous for its lakes, wineries, breweries, restaurants, and charming villages, but agriculture is an equally important part of the Finger Lakes story. A visit to a local farm is a wonderful way to slow down and enjoy the land. And there’s no better place to do it than the Pick’n Patch!
Located just 20 minutes from Penn Yan, along Routes 5 & 20 in Stanley, is the Pick’n Patch - a classic Finger Lakes farm experience with a little something for everyone—from apple picking and corn mazes to sunflower fields and seasonal treats.

For the Adventurous
Wander through 8 acres of twists, turns, and towering corn as you make your way through an unforgettable Corn Maze. With every corner bringing a new decision, the adventure is equal parts fun, challenge, and a little bit of friendly competition. Listen to the rustling corn, soak up the sun, and see if you can find your way to the finish. Grab the QR code for the maze map as you enter if you’re a bit fearful of getting lost - the live gps map helps you find your way! Take along a challenge for additional fun a long the way and every year the maze theme changes. This year its all about celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary. It’s truly a perfect activity for families, friends, and anyone who enjoys a good old-fashioned outdoor adventure. Just remember—getting lost is part of the fun!
For the Youngest Visitors
Pick’n Patch has plenty of fun activities designed especially for its youngest visitors, making it a wonderful destination for a family outing. Little ones can bounce, giggle, and burn off some energy at the Lil’ Pumpkin Bouncer, a favorite for active kids. The Corn Kernel Pit lets children jump, scoop, and play in a giant pit filled with corn kernels for a uniquely farm-themed adventure. Kids can also climb aboard the Firetruck Fun House for imaginative play and then explore the farm aboard the Train Ride for a fun and memorable journey. With so many activities to discover, Pick’n Patch makes it easy for little ones to enjoy all the sights, sounds, and excitement on the farm!
For Tweens & Teens
Pick’n Patch isn’t just for little ones—tweens and teens will find plenty of ways to have fun and stay active, too. Challenge your friends to a game of lawn games, including Yard Yahtzee or Hook & Ring. Then head over to the Giant Pillow Bouncer for some high-energy bouncing and laughs. Climb the Big Red Climber to get to the highest point on the farm and get a splendid view. For a little friendly competition, race down the Super Slide and see who can reach the bottom first. The Low Ropes Course adds a bit of adventure and agility. The Game Zone offers even more opportunities to play and compete, test your speed throwing a baseball and challenge your accuracy with football targets. With so many activities packed into one farm, the Pick’n Patch makes it easy for older kids to put down their phones and enjoy a day of outdoor fun!
A Whole Day Adventure
With the Beltane’s Barnyard Animals, the Apple Blasters, and nearly 8 acres of a corn maze to wander through, plan to stay a while! Have a freshly homemade donut, order up the Giant Bavarian Pretzel, and for the adults sip on a harvest inspired slushee! Recommendation: plan for at least for 3 hours, but stay for the whole day!
